Title: Dashboard lights Post by: davidewanprice on July 01, 2008, 12:04:33 am Here is a question for you, why when I put my brake pedal down do the dashboard lights fade? Only to get brighter when the pedal is released?
E.G. Choke light/side lights, and hand brake light on the centre console? I guess I’ll be bombarded by the dreaded words "bad earth" but I thought I’d ask... Title: Re: Dashboard lights Post by: Anders Dinsen on July 01, 2008, 09:34:03 am Bad earth ;D
But it could also be just poor supply from the fuse board to the dash. Do they fade a lot or just a bit? My radio front panel blinks a bit when the indicators are turned on and I don't really understand it because it get's the power supply over a 70A ignition relay supplied directly from a 6 sqmm cable to the battery! But it is probably the permanent 12V supply to the dash, which also powers the indicator relay.

If I have nothing else to do on the car I consider making a stabilised circuit, and make the variable adjuster a 2 position switch.(full/dimmed) So far I see about 2 years more important work on the car. In good time it will be a fact. |
